I think so.

Could we also start recording deprecated synonyms on the wiki? In this
case, service=drive-through and service=drive_thru should noted. They
can then be automatically converted when convenient.

For these we can have wiki redirects and also add a small section near

deprecated variations.

Please can we maintain the customary underscore to join words in
values, as found in motorway_link, level_crossing, kent_carriage_gap.

name=value has long been an exception to joining words with _ in
values. I don't suggest changing that.

And if service=drive_thru is to be revised, perhaps drive_thru=yes/no
from Map Features should follow the same plan.

Also redirecting drive_thru=yes to drive_in seems very wrong.  A drive
through and a drive in are very different in my experience.

Yes, it seems key:drive_thru was recently added to Map Features (and a 
few other pages), without any proposal or discussion. I agree that it 
makes sense for it to be consistent spelling with service=drive-through 
/ service=drive_through.


And it is different thing to key:drive_in, so it should have a separate 
page.


I'm not too fussed whether it has a hyphen or an underscore, so long as 
one is agreed upon. FWIW the Wikipedia article uses a hyphen, as do a 
couple of dictionaries I checked.

What is wrong with converting them to underscores specifically, we're
not using things in written works, but in a semi-programming type

as for examples, there is nothing on the Map_Features wiki page that

Depends on the language.  If you have a COBOL background you might just be
tempted to convert underscores to hyphens :).

No.  There are probably more OSMers that know basic English than OSMers that
know basic German.  And we all know where the hyphen key is.

Anyway, whatever, if you want to make it drive_through, go ahead.

It's not (only) because we've done it in the past, it's just a lot 
easier to type because you don't have to remember if it was a space, a

 An explicit tag would be better since routers can then let the user filter
 for fast food restaurants that have drive-throughs and then route them to
 the selected drive-through entrance appropriately.

Whether or not a restaurant (or pharmacy, or bank, or whatever) has a
drive-through should be a property of the restaurant and not of the

Yeah, but then how do you route the person to the proper entrance?  Sounds
like a job for a relation, really.  But so far I've been too lazy to map
that much detail.

And I still don't like access=destination.  If access=destination means a
privately owned road which should only be used for access to a building,
motorway service station, beach, campsite, industrial estate, business park,
etc then access=destination is already implied by highway=service.

I wasn't actually serious about using German for primary keys/values,
just showing how his logic was flawed. It would make things more

 It's not (only) because we've done it in the past, it's just a lot 
 easier to type because you don't have to remember if it was a space, a 
 hyphen or an underscore - you can simply type an underscore and you're done.

And this is precisely because we've done it in the past.

 Really?  So you can’t actually use a drive-thru in Florida?  That seems
 kind of silly.  Why would anyone bother building one if no one is
 allowed to use it?


There is a difference (here, in Florida, I won't speak for other locations)
between having a right of access and having an implied permission of
access.  A right of access cannot be taken away except by the government.
Permission to use a drive-through can be taken away by the property owner -
the public does not have a right of access.

Compare access=yes to access=permissive.  The public has an official,
legally-enshrined right of access, i.e. it's a right of way. vs. The owner
gives general permission for access.  Now, note that access=destination
uses the term the public has a right of access [in certain circumstances],
not the owner gives general permission for access [in certain
circumstances].  Drive-thrus are an instance of the latter, not the former.

[Tagging] Is highway=service, service=drive_thru a good idea?

2010-04-11 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
For a while now, I've been drawing and tagging drive through lanes at fast
food restaurants with highway=service and service=drive_thru (and sometimes
also oneway=yes since it seems that the implicit vs. explicit tags debate is
not yet done). Does anybody think that this is a good idea that can be
adopted by others?

Here are some actual examples:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/37125344
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/39809748

No idea if this is a good idea or not, is there a need to tag drive
through differently?

If there is a good need for a sub-type, you could always add
oneway=yes as implied by your tag scheme.

Should through be shortened to thru since road isn't abbreviated to Rd etc?

Depending on the situation it might affect routing.

I have indeed tagged a couple of these, using highway=service,
service=drive-through, access=private, oneway=yes.

In my experience the oneway is usually explicit, as there are arrows on the
ground.

highway=service + oneway=yes + access=destination

junction=roundabout implies oneway=yes, which is why you don't need to
add a oneway tag as well.

Ah, I see.

Now, if we really want to start a flame war, maybe I should ask whether or
not to include bicycle=no :).

While your comment is tongue in cheek, most drive throughs have
height/width restrictions and usually don't allow towed vehicles to be
taken through either, not sure if anyone has come up with suitable
tagging for this.

 I've done similar, though I've used service=drivethru. Adding
 oneway=yes can't hurt.

 Would be nice to see this added to the wiki at least in these locations:

 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:service
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfast_food

 As for what exactly is the best tag, FWIW, wikipedia has
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-through, thus perhaps
 service=drive-through would be best.


Since a couple of people mentioned that service=drive-through is a good
value, then I'd go for this value too for consistency.

I'd rather get some more people agree to this idea before changing the wiki
pages. :-)

If you want to be consistent, use underscores not hyphens, eg
service=drive_through
